[QUOTE="Vincent, post: 223424, member: 15675"] I believe there are some complications you should look into first. The [COLOR=#333333]18-105mm does not have a Aperture ring, that means you need extension tubes that have metal components so that you can control the aperture still from the camera. The cheap extension tubes do not have this, to work with these you will need something like a [/COLOR][URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nikon-Nikkor-AF-50mm-f-1-8-D-Lens-/281115167611?pt=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item4173c50b7b"]Nikon Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8 D Lens[/URL]. For the reversal you would need the same aperture ring on your lens (external controls exist, but seem much trouble). I picked up an old Osawa Lens for Macro and reversing a lens from my dad´s not used camera is my budget solution for macro. Look for DIY extension tubes, you would not need a Nikon lens for some solutions. P.S.: This does not replace professional material. [/QUOTE]
